The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — you, LORD, ye — and what happens in the verse to you, ministers, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 36 chapters of 2 Chronicles on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. בָּנַ֕י עַתָּ֖ה אַל־תִּשָּׁל֑וּ כִּֽי־בָכֶ֞ם בָּחַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה לַעֲמֹ֤ד לְפָנָיו֙ לְשָׁ֣רְת֔וֹ וְלִהְי֥וֹת ל֖וֹ מְשָׁרְתִ֥ים וּמַקְטִרִֽים׃ס [My sons, be not now negligent; for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before Him, to minister unto Him, and that ye should be His ministers, and offer unto Him.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/2CH.650/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:2CH:607 # text = בָּנַ֕י עַתָּ֖ה אַל־תִּשָּׁל֑וּ כִּֽי־בָכֶ֞ם בָּחַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה לַעֲמֹ֤ד לְפָנָיו֙ לְשָׁ֣רְת֔וֹ וְלִהְי֥וֹת ל֖וֹ מְשָׁרְתִ֥ים וּמַקְטִרִֽים׃ס # verse = 2CH.29.11 1-2 בָּנַ֕י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בָּנ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=my.sons|Ref=2CH_29:11!1|MId=o140290110011|Strong=1121 2 ַ֕י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=2CH_29:11!1|MId=o140290110012|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 3 עַתָּ֖ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 5 advmod _ Gloss=now|Ref=2CH_29:11!2|MId=o140290110021|Strong=6258 4 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 5 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=2CH_29:11!3|MId=o140290110031|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 5 תִּשָּׁל֑וּ שָׁלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 1 parataxis _ Gloss=be.negligent|Ref=2CH_29:11!4|MId=o140290110041|Strong=7952|Frame=A0:140290110011;|Type=jussive 6 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=2CH_29:11!5|MId=o140290110051|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 בָכֶ֞ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=2CH_29:11!6|MId=o140290110061|Strong=0871a 8 ָכֶ֞ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=2CH_29:11!6|MId=o140290110062|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 9 בָּחַ֣ר בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=he.has.chosen|Ref=2CH_29:11!7|MId=o140290110071|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:140290110081;|Type=qatal 10 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=2CH_29:11!8|MId=o140290110081|Strong=3068 11-12 לַעֲמֹ֤ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_29:11!9|MId=o140290110091|Strong=3807a 12 עֲמֹ֤ד עָמַד VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 xcomp _ Gloss=stand|Ref=2CH_29:11!9|MId=o140290110092|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:140290110011;|Type=infinitive_construct 13-15 לְפָנָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=2CH_29:11!10|MId=o140290110101|Strong=3807a 14 פָנָי פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 12 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=2CH_29:11!10|MId=o140290110102|Strong=6440 15 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=him|Ref=2CH_29:11!10|MId=o140290110103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16-18 לְשָׁ֣רְת֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_29:11!11|MId=o140290110111|Strong=3807a 17 שָׁ֣רְת שָׁרַת VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 12 conj _ Gloss=serve|Ref=2CH_29:11!11|MId=o140290110112|Strong=8334|Frame=A0:140290110011;A1:140290110113;|Type=infinitive_construct 18 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=2CH_29:11!11|MId=o140290110113|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19-21 וְלִהְי֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_29:11!12|MId=o140290110121|Strong=2050b 20 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=2CH_29:11!12|MId=o140290110122|Strong=3807a 21 הְי֥וֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 24 cop _ Gloss=be|Ref=2CH_29:11!12|MId=o140290110123|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:140290110011;|Type=infinitive_construct 22-23 ל֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 ל לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=|Ref=2CH_29:11!13|MId=o140290110131|Strong=3807a 23 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 obl _ Gloss=his|Ref=2CH_29:11!13|MId=o140290110132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24 מְשָׁרְתִ֥ים שָׁרַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur 12 conj _ Gloss=servants|Ref=2CH_29:11!14|MId=o140290110141|Strong=8334|Frame=A0:140290110011;|Type=participle_active 25-26 וּמַקְטִרִֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=2CH_29:11!15|MId=o140290110151|Strong=2050b 26 מַקְטִרִֽים קָטַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur 24 conj _ Gloss=makers.of.smoke|Ref=2CH_29:11!15|MId=o140290110152|Strong=6999|Frame=A0:140290110011;|Type=participle_active 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=2CH_29:11!15|SpaceAfter=No 28 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=2CH_29:11!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תִּשָּׁלוּ *be negligent* | jussive · niphal | בָּנ *my sons* | | | | | בָּחַר *he has chosen* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | עֲמֹד *stand* | infinitive construct · qal | בָּנ *my sons* | | | | | שָׁרְת *serve* | infinitive construct · piel | בָּנ *my sons* | וֹ *him* | | | | הְיוֹת *be* | infinitive construct · qal | בָּנ *my sons* | | | | | מְשָׁרְתִים *servants* | participle active · piel | בָּנ *my sons* | | | | | מַקְטִרִֽים *makers of smoke* | participle active · hiphil | בָּנ *my sons* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
